the individual to get money regardless of the

reason that we punish criminals who put that
principle into practice we have the right to
abolish the saloon.

RICH SALT WELLS.
How the Crude Salt Is Converted Into an
Artlcle of Commcrrn.

Article OF Commerce.
The stratum Of salt having been once
pierced, saturated solution of the sa-
line matter frequently rising in the
boring to within eighty feet of the
surface. This, however, can not always
be depended upon, and here center the
increased difficulty and expense. When
few dozen feet have been drilled, a
six or an eight inch iron pipe is insert
ed MS easing" Inside of this two
inch pipe-also of iron--is placed. The
leasing head has two openiugs-one
for the entrance of pure water from a
neighboring spring into the larger pipe,
at the lower end Of which it becomes
saturated with saline matter; the other
at the end Of the smaller pipe, to allow
the expulsion of the brine. OF course,
the wells become foul or leakyat times,
and then resort is had to torpedoes of
nitro-glycerine, which are sent down
to the bottom of the easing and af-
ter them is sent an iron weight which
secures the explosion. The rusting of
the easing is the great enemy Of tho
salt worker; and, when his en-
CINE can not lift the mass
of rusted iron, knife cuts the
rusted metal, and the engine tears it
away piecemeal. But the salt wells
are exempt from any danger of taking
fire. and il is never necessary, as in the
case of oil wells, TO shoot of the ''cas-
ing head with a cannon-ball. After
the brine has once reached the surface
il is forced into large reservoirs.

HISTORY Of THE DOLLAR.
Word That Il Frequently Encountered
In Comparatively Old Works.

In Comparatively Old Works.
Our word dollar dates back to 1885,
when resolution was passed by Con-
gress which provided that it should be
the unit of money of the United States.
Another resolution was passed in 1885,
August 8, providing that il should
weigh 375,6 Ga grains Of pure silver The
mint was established in 1892, and was
then required to coin erdollars CON
tanning 371.25 grains of pure silver,
This was due TO the influence of Alex
andcr Hamilton. No dollars were coined
until 1874, and then irregular. They
are worth now 500 each. In 1904 the
coinage of regular dollars began. Our
coin was an adaptation of the Spanish
milled dollar, coin very popular
wherever the Spaniards Travelled. The
coin was called 'piastre, meaning a
fiat piece of metal; it is Synonymous
with plaster. 1t is supposed that the
Spaniaras took the German e'thaler''
and called it by the name of '.piaster. "
The word dollar is entered in Bailey's
English Dictionary OF 1745, and was
used repeatedly by Shakespeare at the
beginning of the seventeenth century,
especially in Macbeth, ii, 2. 62: It'll
she disbursed $4,000 to our
general use" (See also the Tempest,
ii, l, ~ The question where Shaks-
peare found the word dollar answered
by the fact that the Hanseatic towns
maintained a great establishmentcal
the Steel Yard in London. The Steel
Yard merchants were mostly North
Germans, who would call the German
thaler as twas spelt, 'dah-ler" The
same merchants oocasioned the word
stcrling, an abreyiation of the word
''esterling." As the Hanseatic trade
was particularly brisk on the Baltic and
in Russia the standard coins of the
/ Hanse merchants were called esterlings,
and sterling came to mean something
genuine and desirable. The word
dollar is the English for thaler, the
first of which was coined about 1856.
and corresponds quite closely to our
present American silver dollars. The
word thaler means "'coming from II
dale or valley" the first dollars having
been coined in Bohemian valley called
Joachimsthal. 1t was under Charles
", the Emperor of Germany, King of
Spain and Lord of Spanish America,
that the German thaler became the coin
| of the world. - Filiu,lcier.

and gave him moments sight OF tho
reeking bear in front Of him, he lowered
his head for the fourth time, aud again
made one Of his terrific charges.
When the dying bear had dragged
himself away from the bull, the
cages actually swoopcd down upon
aim, and the wolves sprang from tho
thicket into the opening and prepared
to pounce upon him. The bull scat
tered the impatient birds and animals
as he swept on his final charge against
the grizzly, and they hastily departed,
shrieking and snarling. The cattle
again added their believing to that of
the bulls, and acted rs if they under

taken. As the bull hurled himself
against the grizzly, the latter braccd
himself for a last desperate struggle.
He struck out wildly with his paws, and
the bull fell back with the force OF the
grizzly's blows, presenting a CHASTITY
spectacle. His tongue hung from his
mouth, Il mangled mass of shreds. His
face was ripped bare of flesh to the
bone, and his eyes were torn from their
sockets The charge was equally dis
astrous to the bear, he being ripped
completely open, and he sank to the
ground writhing in his agony The
indonhtable courage of the bull here
prevailed. Blinded and crippled rs he
was, he made but n slight pause after
his fourth assault, and then dashed
wildly ut his Toe again. The grizzly's
roar now seemed TO be one of terror.
With Il last frantic effort he sought to
make his escape. scrambling aud stag
gering through the dust. But it was
useless. His great strength was gone.
The bull plunged his horns again aud

The victorious bull raised his bloody,

Il deep below, and, shaking. his head
triumphaRtly, turned and walked away.
His progress was slow and painful, and
he stopped and turned at short inter-
walls and listened, sif to know whether
his foe would renew the battle He
walked nearly a hundred yards, with
his herd gathering and believing about
him. Presently his head dropped from
its proud position. He spread his legs
apart as if to brace himself against the
weakness that was stealing upon him.
Suddenly he fell as if he had been shot,
u mangled, bleeding mass, and was
soon dead.
"The bull hadno sooner left the dead
bear than the eagles and wolves were
screeching, snarling and fighting onthe
carcass. The bull had not been dead
